The Blessed Life

When I fully accept my flaws - the errors, the mistakes and all the wrong doings - within me, the lighter I shall feel.  But, I cannot lightly accept them.  It has to be done with full wanting, full realization and full acceptance.  I must not give excuses for my bad attitudes, bad behaviours and bad manners. Acceptance is a tricky word.  It is an active verb to mean that I have to know what I really am.  That, I have to take it in and be non judgmental about myself (and others). I have to look into my attitudes, behaviours and manners.  In the way I think, the way I speak and how I act and react to every situations.  Is my body language showing compassion?  What about the tone of my voice?  Is it a tone of arrogance?  What about my words?  Are they encouraging and positive?  When communicating, do I engage or do I debate? Should I want to reform, I have to accept the ways of my actions.  How aware am I with my own outward...

The mind is always hard at work all the time.  It picks up everything from what the senses feel, hear, see, touch and taste.  Each of these senses is a tool where the mind uses to build a clear picture of what life means.  From there, it allows the learning process and decisions making about the world. I have to be conscious to be kind to the mind.  My consciousness needs to nurture the mind so that all the data collected from my sensory organs is in touch with the purpose of the soul.  It has to work together and not against each other. I have to take time to allow my mind to rest, to slow down and recuperate whenever it needs.  I should not let it overworked.  It is good to practice daily meditation to calm down the mind.  Or, taking a walk in the nature to ground it.  A walk in nature walks the mind back to innocence. The mind learns from repetition.  It is important I speak to my mind often on what I want out of life.  When I wa...

To be a good human, I need to know what empathy is.  To be a better human, I have to comprehend what suffering is.  I cannot think I know and yet be oblivious to sense other people's thinking and, more importantly, their feelings.  Thinking and knowing are totally different.  And, I should not even try at assuming. To understand another, I have to know how he or she feels.  Do I have the ability to identify and understand another person's emotions?  Does my limited experience qualify me that I truly care for others, the way my intellect thinks I do?  Do I react with others with my IQ or EQ?  Am I swayed by arrogance to think my intellect knows it all, all the time? I have to find time to know and how much I know.  Have I really gone through the feeling of abandonment, betrayal, hurt, neglected, pain (the list goes on) before?  Have I dealt with grief of losing a loved one?   Have I been misjudged, threatened and struggled to pr...

The relationship I should care for the most is the one with myself.  This relationship is the only one that I can be at peace with.  When I choose to be in a relationship with my soul, I embrace the deepest meaningful connection.  It is a relationship that guarantees inner peace and heightens the connection with the Divine. When I am in love with my soul, I shall be in love with life.  I shall be in love with the Creator that creates me.  My soul is a perfect soulmate.  It is a perfect partner to live a happy and peaceful life.  My soul loves me unconditionally.  My soul totally accepts me.  This is a connection of divine quality that leads towards a rich earthly life. I have to deepen my connection with my soul.  I have to make more efforts to communicate with him.  Surely, my soul wants me to do that.  This communication will enrich deep respect between the two of us.  I have faith that my soul will take good care of me....

A doctor will not be able to help me when I cannot describe the detailed symptom to him.  Likewise, should I want to get healed, I need to know what is actually wrong with me.  I have to be able to describe it all.  I need to be specific.  I have to know what is truly my problem deep inside. The body is intelligent and it can heal itself.  But it needs complete honesty where the mind, body and soul come together to conspire in a common language.  There has to be one congruent mindset.  There has to be total agreement and harmony.   Healing will not take place when there is conflicting consciousness. I have to be open and honest with my problem.  I should not hide away or bury anything.  I have to openly talk about it.  Knowing how my mind works is the first step.  It is crucial.   Is my mind dominantly negative or positive?  What about my self-talk?  Do I critically analyze every details and doubt at al...

The pandemic has brought my world to a standstill.  While I pray for the well being of humanity and Mother Earth during this challenging time, the pandemic has given me great opportunity about coming home to within myself.  Somewhat, I feel peaceful.  Somehow, I feel an increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. The lockdown slows down my pace for a good opportunity to visit on self knowledge.  It is a good time to discover things that I have taken for granted all these times. The social inactivity forces me to pay more attention to who am I.  It is the perfect timing to go deeper about knowing myself.  It is the time to listen to my body.  How is my physical body coping?  What are the dominant thoughts in my mental body?  Why is my emotional body feels in a certain way?  Where has my spiritual body taken me? Self knowledge is important as it offers a route to greater happiness and fulfilment.  A lack of ...

When I become addicted to material things in life, my true natural life will run away from me.  While these things give me certain comfort, it can sabotage my true happiness in life. As a human, I have to be grounded.  I have to be warned not to heavily rely on the material things of this world.  I should not be too attached to what this world is offering me. Too much of worldliness voids me.  The instant gratification will make me to forget that these things are temporary.  That I will not be able to bring them when I depart from this world. I have to be humble to receive all of God's gifts.  The abundance and the good fortune are not to ride on my pride.  Yes, the quality of having these things can make me to feel blessed.  But, pride can be my downfall. I have to be mindful not to let the material things dominate every waking moment of my life.  There are reasons to every accomplishments.  How did I earn them?  Why have I been re...

I have to let my inner voice to speak to me with compassion.  It has to be a voice to help me to grow, be kind and be useful.  It has to be a voice of love to make me a better person.  It has to be a voice from my soul that speaks the divine language. It is important to cultivate a language where the inner voice is only voicing out words of love, of courage and encouragement.  I should not allow it to interact with me negatively.  It must not be a voice of habitual skepticism to make me to oppose life. When my inner voice speaks to me with love, I will radiate peace on the outside.  I want my inner voice to be the voice of my Inner Child who is in love with me.  Who will help me to make better decision.  Who would want me to love and be loving. I have to nurture my inner voice to take the positive in any situations.  It has to be in tune with what I want.  Together, we will live for greater fulfillment.  Together, we can make better...

In order for me to reap more abundance into my life, I have to create a space for it.  It has to be a conscious effort.  I have to do house keeping every now and then, to make for that space.   I have to spring clean and declutter.  I have to discard things that are not working.  I have to throw, or donate, things that are no longer useful. I have to create space in my wardrobe.  I have to organize every cabinets, drawers and shelves throughout the house.  I have to clean and tidy the fridge.  I have to clean and tidy every corners. It will be good that I clear my emails.  It is good that I update my contact list.  I must not keep old mails.  There should be organized filing system.  It is good to throw books that are torn and tattered. When I declutter, I am letting go.  When I spring clean, I am ready to accept new things.  When I keep things clean and tidy, I am manifesting happy and peaceful life. When I want...

Forgiveness is a healing virtue and when I can give it, it saves my life.  It makes me not to be trapped in anger.  Holding onto anger is like drinking poison but when I can forgive, all the hurt and disappointment dissipate.  I will no longer be consumed by bitterness that harms me physically and mentally. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation.  The truth is, where the anger and hurt started, there was already a crack with different sets of energetic vibrations.  It has changed the emotional landscape.   Still, I need to forgive the situation and forgive myself.  Unless I forgive the situation, unless I realize the situation is over, I cannot move forward. When I can forgive, my soul gets to live.  Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps me to go on with life.  It is an act where I let go the suffering of the past and being willing to forge ahead with greater potential for my inner freedom. The key is, forgiving does not mean I...
